"How did this happen? Why our family?" Most people who get a call from Child Protection never see it coming.

I have worked in the closed courtrooms of Child Protection as a parent's defense attorney, and as a guardian ad litem, since 2014. I have experience with Child Protection in Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, and Ramsey counties. I understand the system and can help turn a crisis situation into a manageable one.

I also have unique resources available who can provide guidance through the Child Protection system from a parent/party's perspective.

Child Protection defense can be priced using varying FLAT FEE arrangements, or on an hourly basis with retainer, depending on your individual case.

FLAT FEE: Under the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct (Rule 1.5(b)), an advance fee payment becomes the property of the attorney, subject to refund of the unearned portion of the fee if the attorney-client relationship is terminated before the fee is fully earned. Each Representation & Fee Agreement with JLT|Law clearly states the hourly rates to be applied to earned fees in the event of an early termination and refund calculation.
